Thank god proprietary and one-browser-supported pseudo standards are not
integrated in recent XHTML specifications...

Nevertheless I think your suggestion includes two aspects... on the one
hand, the object element is of a quite different nature than the MS iframe
element, so for me the proposal sounds like replacing the p element by the span
element (hope you know what I mean)... on the other hand, your problem depends
on the kind you want to attain dynamic -- using server-side scripts or script
languages (PHP, Perl) you avoid as well visualization problems (because users
might disable JavaScript) as compatibility faults (like your example may
illustrate it).

 Jens.
